Key Points

This research aims to understand how the position of substitutions in naphthalene-linked chlorophyll dyads affects their self-assembly within chlorosomes.
Chlorophyll dyads with varying naphthalene substitutions were synthesized in vitro.
The supramolecular structures were characterized using spectroscopic techniques.
Comparative analyses were performed to assess the impact of substitution position on assembly dynamics.
Self-assembled structures showed significant variations based on substitution position.
Certain substitution patterns enhanced structural stability and pigment interactions.
Results indicate a clear relationship between chemical structure modifications and supramolecular diversity.

Implication

Investigates self-assembly variations of chlorophyll dyads in chlorosomes, suggesting structural diversity due to pigment modifications.

Abstract

Chlorosomes, the light-harvesting antennae of green photosynthetic bacteria, exhibit supramolecular structural diversity arising from variations in the chemical structures of their constituent pigments. Although chlorosome models prepared via in vitro...
